Top The Cotton Exchange Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ballast Wilmington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, in a good area, and easily walkable to all of the bars, restaurants and shops in downtown Wilmington. My only issue was that none of the rooms have a mini fridge or refrigerator in them. I asked if were possible to rent one, but they said that was not an option. Just something to keep in mind if you want to bring leftover food back, cold drinks or need to keep your medication refrigerated."
